Louisa ... Louise

Been spending most of my computer time cleaning up my genealogy database, which means not so much time has been spent on this blog.  A couple days ago I wrote about one of my 2nd great-grandmothers:  Louisa (Perkins) McGary.  So her granddaughter, Dessie (Aston) Harris, was my grandmother.  And Dessie's daughter, Alda Louise (Harris) Kuhn was my mother.

The title of this post comes from my wondering if Grandma Dess gave her youngest daughter a middle name of Louise in honor of her own grandmother, Louisa.  This is probably one of those things I'll never know for sure ... but it seems a likely possibility.
